Making The Devil Their Scapegoat Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Refusing to take responsibility for their
transgressions
Not willing to acknowledge their wrong doings
Not willing to acknowledge their sins
Refusing to repent from their sins
They shift the blame to someone else
They blame someone who can't answer for himself
They make the devil their scapegoat.

They allow themselves to be deceived
They give in to their greed
They sin proudly
They sin arrogantly
They refuse to listen to sound advice
They reject wise counsel
But when their actions return to haunt them
they blame satan
They make the devil their scapegoat.

They will not accept Christ
They have rejected Christ
They trust their earthly wealth
They believe in their earthly wealth
They have sold their souls for money
When this wealth evaporates
When this money disappears
They know that Satan is a liar, a thief and destroyer
Yet They blame satan when things go wrong
They make the devil their scapegoat.
